Bruce Pittman
Announces RetirementDean of Students here for
fall to train replacement

When Bruce Pitman arrived in Moscow as the University of Idaho Greek adviser in
1973, the drinking age was 19, the Kibbie Dome wasn’t yet a dome,
pedestrian-only streets running through campus were open to cars and there
wasn’t a single McDonalds in town.

Now, after 40 years of service, the dean of students and vice provost for
student affairs has announced his intention to retire early next fall. The
announcement — which could have come seven years ago when Pitman became
eligible for retirement — was a surprise to few. Many have expressed their
sadness at the news of Pitman’s impending departure.
